I see that the clocksource=pit on the grub command line does not seem to fix the problem. Any other hints? Change to Ubuntu server? Build my own xen binary? Use Debian's backports to change the kernel version?

This is kind of a big problem for me since the error kills ntpd on DomU's and then Dovecot's processes stop themselves when time is corrected. Scripts to workaround this are fine but I would rather much prefer for the clock not to jump ahead.

Hi,

as a quick fix, you could handle your domU's independent from xen:

echo "jiffies" > /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource
echo "1" > /proc/sys/xen/independent_wallclock

take a look at /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/available_clocksource to see which clock sources are possible.

cheers,

Stephan
